TOM BROWN - NOSTALGIA, AMERICANA - 8x6 inch ORIGINAL OIL PLUS SKETCH.

I love abandoned old roadside structures and often stop to paint or sketch them on the spot when I discover them. This painting was done from sketches I created many years ago.

The sketches were stored away and forgotten until recently. I found them again while cleaning out old studio files.

The building had been used for the unlikely combination of a restaurant and bait shop in the Midwest. I discovered the abandoned structure on a country back road and did numerous pencil sketches and studies of it at the time.

One of those sketches (on very yellowed old 4x7-inch paper) will be included as part of this auction and will be shipped with the actual painting.

About Me

I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style.
I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs.
My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years.
My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others.
I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association.
On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries.
Thanks for looking.
